Chapter 296: Who Is the Ghost?
People covering their faces, "How about a different one?"
"What is the name of China’s first atomic bomb?"
"Miss Qiu?"
"It’s Miss Qiu."
"No, this is not something everyone knows either!"
"Why do we always have trouble with atomic bombs?"
"What do the hammer and sickle represent?"
"Proletariat!" x8.
"Next one!"
"What does Cao Cao like?"
"Being a man’s wife!" x8
"Dog head q start to kill someone!"
"This hand wins!" x8
"Grass!" x8
Ye Qiu slammed his hands on the table, falling into a deep silence. "Could that ghost really not be among us?"
Fang Ze went quiet, "If the ghost isn’t among us, then it must be among those NPCs. So if we kill all of them, can’t we find the ghost?"
"But can it really be that simple?"
"If it really is that simple…"
Wait, did we forget someone during the Q&A session just now?
Fang Ze suddenly looked at Ye Qiu, "Ye Qiu, I’m going to ask you three questions, and you must answer me within one second!"
"What did you eat last night?!"
"Fish."
"Are you a boy or a girl?!"
"A boy."
"Are you human or ghost?!"
"Human."
Fang Ze gradually became silent, "It’s okay, I was just being suspicious."
Ye Qiu looked at Fang Ze, "It’s okay, until a real ghost appears, anyone could be a ghost, including me."
"It’s always wise to be cautious."
Fang Ze nodded, "There must be some clues on this ship, we can’t just guess blindly like this."
"Let’s split into pairs and search separately. At night, we’ll rest in pairs too, we must be vigilant and not give the ghost any chance."
"Also, that Charles is very strange."
"We can’t rule out the possibility of him being a ghost, or one of the eleven sailors being a ghost. The safest way is to get rid of those eleven sailors first."
"But I don’t believe this ghost-hunting game will have such obvious loopholes for us to exploit, so Ye Qiu, you watch Charles tonight."
"Let’s pair up first to protect each other and keep an eye on one another."
"Make sure you watch your partner closely, if your partner dies, your own mystery will be unquestionable."
"But I think the ghost is more likely to target the sailor first, and he might choose to stay silent."
"But if he keeps staying silent like this, he will reveal his true colors sooner or later!"
Ye Qiu thought for a moment, "Regardless, I will take on the Eye of Death; if anything happens to anyone, I’ll take full responsibility."
Du Yuan patted Ye Qiu’s shoulder, "It’s okay, we all volunteered for this; can’t blame anyone."
"Don’t carry any psychological burden."
。。。
Everyone split up to look for clues and returned to the captain’s room in the evening.
"Did everyone find anything?"
Everyone shook their heads, including Fang Ze. "Old Du and I checked the ship’s anchor. It’s broken and can’t be pulled up. We’ll have to cut it to sail the ship."
"But even if we sail away, things won’t get much better. We still need to find that ghost."
"Since we didn’t find any clues today, let’s all go back and rest."
"Let’s meet back here at 7 o’clock tomorrow morning. Try not to sleep tonight."
。。。
The next morning.
When everyone returned to the captain’s room, they all looked tired and weary, showing that they hadn’t slept all night.
Who could fall asleep in this situation?
Fly glanced at the yawning watermelon beside him, "You have a big heart to be able to fall asleep."
The watermelon stretched lazily, "Hey, isn’t it because you are here with me?"
"By the way, why haven’t Old Fang and Old Ye come yet?"
Just as the watermelon finished speaking, the weary Ye Qiu and Fang Ze walked over side by side.
"Eleven sailors have died."
!!!
Upon hearing this, everyone’s faces showed shock!
"What?!"
"All eleven sailors are dead! They were supposed to live together in pairs. When did they die? Why is there no noise at all?!"
Fang Ze rubbed his forehead, "They all have wounds that killed them instantly. The killer was quick and precise, must be very familiar with assassination."
"So, did anyone fall asleep last night?"
Watermelon raised his hand, "I… I fell asleep…"
Fang Ze looked sharply at Watermelon, "Who else was in the same room as you?!"
Fang Ze’s shout made Watermelon jump, "It’s… It’s Fly."
Everyone turned to look at Fly.
If someone could assassinate eleven sailors on this ship without a trace or sound of footsteps!
Then who could it be other than Fly?!
There was only one shadow assassin on the whole ship, wearing his ghost mask, he could possibly kill eleven sailors at the same time!
But, Ye Qiu and Jiang Chen should be able to do the same.
But they and their partners haven’t slept all night!
They were all watching each other, there was no chance to make a move!
Also, they hadn’t figured out one thing yet.
Can ghosts really copy their abilities?!
And how do ghosts kill people!
Faced with everyone’s gaze, Fly fell silent.
"The conditions above really only match me, because I am the one who killed these sailors."
"But I’m not a ghost."
Fang Ze frowned, "Then why did you do that?"
Fly looked at everyone, "There are twenty people on the ship. Searching one by one is too slow. And with the president’s temper, he won’t kill an NPC unless absolutely necessary."
"That’s why I’ll do it. If there’s a ghost among them, we can solve it directly."
"If not, we can narrow down the suspects."
It was a perfect explanation, but it wasn’t enough to clear his suspicion of being a ghost.
"Tonight, let’s change things up. Fly, Watermelon, Old Du, and I will stay in the same room."
"We’ll keep an eye on each other. If someone dies, the ghost can’t be one of us four."
"If no one dies for several days, Fly, you understand, right?"
Fly nodded, "I understand."
。。。
Early the next morning.
Nine people once again entered the captain’s room, "Everyone is here, no one has died indeed."
"But I want to take back something, if nobody has died all this time, we can’t be sure that Fly is the ghost."
"Because it’s possible the ghost heard our conversation and decided to stop killing, trying to frame Fly."
Fang Ze’s words made everyone nod in agreement, it did make sense.
"Let’s continue searching for clues today, see if we missed anything in the past two days."
After leaving the captain’s room, Ye Qiu kept a close eye on Charles, "It seems like you have left out a lot in your words?"
Charles turned around at the sound of the voice, "Have I told you the story of the ghost ship before, my friend?"
"Yes, but not much."
